I pretty much had the same experience. Some places you have to worry about the post office on the receiving end. I once sent a TS-850 to Belarus. It was triple boxed. A total of five inches of peanuts. They still managed to damage it substantially. So I'm a little picky about where I send things. But, for the most part, its pretty easy. Doug -- K0DXV
